Walk the City Walls

One of the most unique features of York is the City Walls. The Walls that surround York are the most intact to be found anywhere in the UK. Originally built to defend the City, the Bar Walls are a great way to see hidden parts of York. The walls cover an area of 263 acres and are 2.5 miles long. They are also referred to as the Bar Walls because of the four magnificent gatehouses (or Bars) that allowed access to the City; Bootham Bar, Monk Bar, Micklegate Bar and Walmgate Bar.

A great audio trail map can be found here to help you discover more about the History of the walls and the sites you can see from them.
